Every stage piece has a dramaturgy that organizes and composes the scenic fabric that makes up the work. This structure is what allows the journey of both the performer and the spectator who observes.

A mise-en-scène, both in dance and theater, consists of relating elements that until now were not related to each other in a specific scenic space. The reasons that lead a creator to make a certain combination are infinite and in some cases indecipherable. It is therefore necessary to define small rules of the game within the creation, so that this invented fusion has an internal logic that supports and backs it up.

The workshop consists of giving tools to emerging creators in terms of dramaturgy. If they are in the process of creation, the ideal is to approach the work from the works they are building.
